Crassula 'Momiji Matsuri' is a succulent plant of the Sedum genus in the Crassulaceae family, a hybrid of Huo Ji and Chi Gui Cheng. The leaves of Crassula 'Momiji Matsuri' are slender and triangular, arranged alternately in pairs, with tiny concave points on the leaf surface and white fine hairs along the leaf margin. The color of Crassula 'Momiji Matsuri' ranges from green to red, and depending on the maintenance environment, the appearance and color may vary. It is suitable for outdoor cultivation, and it tends to turn red in autumn, winter, and spring.
Crassula 'Momiji Matsuri' is easy to care for and tends to produce side shoots from the base, forming multi-headed old clusters. It is robust in habit and suitable for outdoor cultivation. During the spring and autumn growing seasons, provide ample sunlight to Crassula 'Momiji Matsuri'. With sufficient sunlight, its appearance can become more compact and beautiful, and the leaves turn red. Insufficient sunlight can cause Crassula 'Momiji Matsuri' to elongate excessively, resulting in green leaves and elongated stem nodes between the leaves, making the plant weak and floppy. In summer, it can be partially shaded or even directly exposed to sunlight. However, it is essential to note that in conditions of prolonged soil moisture and poor ventilation, the stem base in contact with the soil is prone to rot.
Because Crassula 'Momiji Matsuri' tends to cluster, propagation is often done by stem cuttings, selecting side shoots or pinching off the tops for propagation.
